Which of the following statements is true?
Question

Which of the following statements is true?

A.

HCF of fractions = LCM of numerators/HCF of denominators

B.

LCM of fractions = HCF of numerators/LCM of denominators

C.

HCF of fractions = HCF of numerators/LCM of denominators

D.

The numbers are said to be co-prime if their LCM is 1

Correct option is C

Solution:

Option A: "HCF of fractions = LCM of numerators  HCF of denominators\frac{\text{LCM of numerators }}{\text{ HCF of denominators}}​​

Incorrect : This formula is reversed. The correct formula for the HCF of fractions is HCF of numerators  LCM of denominators\frac{\text{HCF of numerators }}{\text{ LCM of denominators}}​, not LCM of numerators  HCF of denominators.\frac{\text{LCM of numerators }}{\text{ HCF of denominators}}.​​

Option B: "LCM of fractions =HCF of numerators  LCM of denominators\frac{\text{HCF of numerators }}{\text{ LCM of denominators}}​"

Incorrect : This is not the correct formula for the LCM of fractions. The correct formula for the LCM of fractions is LCM of numerators  HCF of denominators.\frac{\text{LCM of numerators }}{\text{ HCF of denominators}}.​.

Option C: Correct statement because it properly expresses the formula for the HCF of fractions:

HCF of fractions=HCF of numeratorsLCM of denominators\text{HCF of fractions} = \frac{\text{HCF of numerators}}{\text{LCM of denominators}}

Option D: "The numbers are said to be co-prime if their LCM is 1"

Incorrect : The definition of co-prime numbers is that their HCF is 1, not their LCM. The LCM of two co-prime numbers is greater than 1, and their HCF is 1.
